Chipguy, do you know if the 1.6GHz Montecito that was demoed by HP/Intel was using 12/18/24MB L3?
BTW, at the ISC at Heidelberg in Germany they are not expecting any Montecito higher than 1.8GHz at the beginning, and Intel does not commit to anything regarding clockspeeds apparently (see Heise.de article below).
BTW2, not that important but I was ofcourse expecting a range of frequencies which is why I asked if you had expected "1.8GHz maximum". I thought you capable of concluding I might have meant that there would be chips clocked with lower frequency than maximum as well.
Foxton will boost each by up to 200 MHz on non FP intensive code.
You keep stating that but that is not stated anywhere and in fact the documentation implies that frequency is set to TPC-C best-case as the starting point of Foxton not set at the FP worst-case as starting point. How about you backing up this continually optimistic claim with at least one link to official intel documentation ?
